Living in Arizona, I often read about Governor Brewer in our local newspaper The Arizona Republic. SCORPIONS FOR BREAKFAST gives a personal look at her political journey and the decision-making process to critical issues of the day. The subtitle for this book clarifies the focus of this book, "My Fight Against Special Interests, Liberal Media, and Cynical Politicos to Secure America's Borders."

I found the pages eye-opening and they provided a perspective not given in the local news media (television or radio or newspaper). The book is well-written and the solid storytelling kept me turning the pages. I enjoyed reading it and recommend this book.

For what might be a well-balanced view of Brewer and her book, go to Amazon and read the comments, especially from "Gypsy Moth" and "Skippy." Unfortunately, politicos who loudly fight against special interests, the liberal media and cynical politicos might be considered cynical politicos themselves. Just sayin.'
